'Dan Brown' wooo the name sounds very familiar, and for many of them it sparks fly in their minds(hehe). For the rest, yea i can guess you mite be having an expression ' whoz dis guy eh?'. I tell u he's one of the best Fiction authors this century ever had. In a very short time he grew so famous – all of his books were simply superb. Thanks to him i started reading more of fictions and in fact got glued to them. I remember very vividly the day my father bought the 'Digital Fortress' and asked me to read it. I was like – nay not now it looks big, and moreover the cover page isnt appealing'. Let me try later'. Few weeks later, i came across the same book, i thought chalo lemme give it a chance and started reading first few pages, oo la la its gud, i was mislead by the look of it.. i never knew that would be the beginning for my journey into the bookland. So here i am reading the book 'Digital Fortress', having my semester exams in a couple of days . Literally the book kept me glued what a story it is! Each moment led out beautifully, gracefully, and deliciously. I somehow tried to complete most of the book ( i wonder how i read tht having exams in a few days)..
I admire the way Brown puts each character and describing that actor in a way very realistic. Its more in framing each component, stitching them and finally adding a touch of life.
One thing that can be noticed is all books have stories that take place in a day(24 – 36 hrs). All have same kinda start, and end ine same way. For sure the lead actor and actress will survive, killing the villain ( :-) ).As u go on reading the book, u'll get to know things u never heard of, Each chapter grips the reader, who can keep guessing about the person behind the disaster. You wouldn't expect that person is the cause behind all this, Best of all, one can get lot of technical knowledge from the book, for Deception point i would say, it was all about physics/ chemistry – what kinda meteorite, metal used, and what may be the cause for the reaction between 2 chemicals. Hoooof..
Da Vinci Code was more about religion, and spirituality. Blimey, i was astonished when i saw the movie, it came out perfectly, with the characters fitting in perfectly. Unfortunately many issues raised out of the book. I prefer not to talk about it much, but yes people its a must read, keeping aside all your presumptions. All those mentioned in the book may or may not be true,
Well let me end it here. Will be back with more soon.. i have lottt to tell about books :)
I would rate Digital Fortress as my fav ( well it helped me in my journey) What do you say?
